EYEGLASS-MOUNTING.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed .Tune 26, 1909.

Patented Dec. 13, 1910.

Serial No. 504,567.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GUSTAV A. BADER, a citizen of the United States, andresident of Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Eyeglass Mountings,of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates particularly to the means for securing togetherthe several component parts of eye-glass mountings, and the object ofthe invention is to produce a simple, inexpensive and secureconstruction for this purpose.

The invention consists in the construction hereinafter described, as itis defined in the succeeding claim.

In the drawings :Figure 1 is a plan view of an eye-glass mountingembodying the present invention; Fig. 2 is a perspective view of therectangular head of the mounting; Fig. 3 is a vertical, longitudinalmedian section of the joint by which the parts of the mounting areconnected together; and Figs. 4i and 5 are perspective views of thejoint cap seen from different points of view.

The illustrated embodiment of my invention comprises lens clips 1 ofordinary form, which constitute means for securing the lenses 2 to themounting, and nose grips 3 and a bow or bridge 4, both of which are ofordinary form. The lens clips 1 are made integral with abody comprisinga neck 5 and a head 6 of generally rectangular form. At its innersurface the head 6 is recessed from the top to substantially the middleof the head, as shown in Fig. 2, so as to form a shoulder 7, and thehead is also,provided with a screw-threaded hole 8, so as to receive ascrew 9 by which the parts are secured together. The recess terminatingin the shoulder 7 constitutes a seat for one end of the bow 4, thematerial of the bow being of such dimensions as substantially to fillthe recess, so that the surfaces of the bow are substantially contiguouswith the inner and upper surfaces of the head. Each nose-grip isprovided with a flat shank 10 which is of the same width as the head,and which is seated partly upon the inner surface of the head and partlyupon the contiguous surface of the bow, as shown in Fig. 3, thenose-guard shank being arranged at rightangles with the end of the bow.

The bow and the nose-guard shank are embraced and secured in properrelative position by means of a cap shown particularly in F igs. A and5. This cap fits closely over the head 6, so as to inclose theoverlapping ends of the bow and the nose-grip shank, and it is providedon opposite sides with perforations adapted to receive and closely fitboth the bow and the nose-grip shank, as shown in Fig. 3. After thelast-mentioned parts have been fitted in place in the cap and the caphas been applied to the head, the screw 9 is passed through the partsand screwed into the head, the cap being provided with a perforation letto receive this screw and the nosegrip shank having a correspondingperforation. The parts are thus all secured together in such a mannerthat even in case the screw becomes somewhat loosened they will still beprevented from substantial relative displacement.

I claim An eye-glass mounting comprising a body provided with means forthe attachment of a lens and having a transverserecess in its innersurface, a bow of which the end is seated in said recess, a nose-griphaving a shank seated upon the inner surface of said body at rightangles with the end of the bow, acap fitting over and embracing saidbody and the ends of the bow and the nosegrip shank and having openingsin its opposite sides to receive the bow and said shank and support themon each side of the cap, and a screw oassing through the cap and intothe body to secure the parts together.
